    CPU utilisation at 100%


    I got my desktop couple days ago less than a week prebuilt, whenever I download from stores such as Microsoft store and steam, it says my SSD is barely being used but my cpu utilisation goes to 100%. On idle my SSD sits at around 60*C and on download 65*C and when playing games at max settings such as Fortnite, it sits at around 76*C. I’m unsure if it’s my ssd or what.Highly appreciate anyone who helps me out.

    :)

  2. 100% disk utilisation slowing laptop

    Hi Mara May,

    Thank you for your assistance, I have had to type this in WORD and copy paste into the thread here due to all things through Chrome and Edge are so slow.

    • Windows is always up to date with all updates.
    • Norton Utilities is also up to date
    • I have already done the following:
      • Tested HDD with HP Startup Menu and disk is 100% in order
      • Carried out SFC scan and corrupt files repaired
      • Did a DSIM restore health and no issues found-Disk utilisation is now generally below 50%
      • When using Chrome browser, to access this chat for example, its very slow with Disk utilisation at 10% or so but Memory at 55% with Chrome using most of it always.
      • So the problem is partially resolved except for when using Chrome
      • With Edge the memory goes up to 62% and HDD 100%
      • Did you suggested :Methods” 1, 2, 3, 5, 6
    • I have not done a “clean boot” as it scares me at this stage.
    It seems to be an issue between Chrome/Edge browsers as when I use Office 365’s Outlook, Word etc, the speed is now OK. Also the Disk utilisation seems to be generally acceptable but memory high that may be slowing the laptop down?

    I have had issues with Teams simultaneously in that it’s so slow but with Zoom its normal, coincidence?

    I look forward to your further suggestions.

    Regards

  3. 100% CPU Utilisation

    Please help, task manager is showing 100% utilisation which is incorrect according to my AMD system monitor. How can I fix this, it happened after the recent updates I made through windows. Has anyone else had this error and if so is there a fix so that
    task manager reads right? Thanks

  4. CPU utilisation at 100%

    100% disk usage on boot up for at least 5 to 10 minutes

    Hi there, I did a clean boot as you suggested and the boot up time became considerably longer and although disk usage was 100%, this was only for a minute or so. The program at the top of the disk utilisation list this time though was service host:superfetch.

    However I then didn't disable anything in the services tab but disabled all the programs in the startup tab and restarted. This resulted in a very speedy boot up AND there was no 100% disk utilisation. I've done this several times enabling a couple of programs
    on startup and the disk utilisation is no longer 100%.

    It appears therefore as though it was some kind of conflict in the startup programs that was causing the 100% disk utilisation.

    Thanks very much for your assistance.
